Kim2BSlim Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 I think this will help us get an idea of how differently the band works for everyone. I thought we could post our band date and how many lbs we are down. Banded March 28th so 4 months and a week I have lost since surgery date 45 lbs That averages a little over 10 lbs a month.

karenlynn79 Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 I will count from my most recent fill date April 17, 2008 (1 month after having my daughter) That day I was 225 Today I am 188 (I can't believe that! I keep doing double-takes at my ticker!) So that's 37 pounds down in 3.5 months, just over 10lbs a month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrooklynIrish59 Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 My band date was 4/21/08 and I weighed 249 at time of surgery. Today I am 210. I guess that puts me at about 12 lbs lost per month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally do pilates, weights, and running each twice a week for about 20 minutes. As with any weight loss effort, exercise is often a key factor. I plan on stepping up my exercise routine when I hit a plauteau.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

julieburns Posted August 8, 2008 Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 Banded 6/4/06 Weight 9/07 280 Weight at Surgery date 240 !st fill 8/17/08 2.0 cc's in 4 cc band Todays weight 228 Weight Loss in 2 months 12 pounds Average 6 pounds per month since surgery. Not as much as I'd hope but better than none. I also need to work harder to not binge on ice cream, sad but true. I tear up typing this. I must come to grips with what I want/need to do. I have not exercised much either. I just have NO energy whatsoever. Again sad but true. I barely make it through work. I have so much chronic pain I am unable to live life. I have been seeking medical treatment for almost 4 years now and nothing helps. Chronic fatigue/fibromyalgia SUCKS and yes it's real. So considering all that, I guess I am not doing too bad, at least I havn't gained up past where I was and AM losing. It could be worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
